Louisiana 5-Day Notice to Quit Form | Non-Payment of Rent

A Louisiana 5-day notice to quit (non-payment) is used in the event a tenant fails to pay rent on the day it's due. The day after the due date, the landlord can issue this notice to quit, which gives the tenant five days to either pay rent in full or move out of the premises.
